*DISCLAIMER* THIS GAME IS A TRAINING PROJECT AND IS INHERITENTLY INCOMPLETE. Please leave feedback on what you think of the concept and things you'd like to see!

*UPDATE* Changed player controls to be more spacey feel. Also increased fire rate. Resized UI.

You are the last line of defense for your home! Don't let any of the evil space aliens get through! This game took inspiration from Space Invaders and Asteroid, and puts the two together!

After I saw your YouTube video, I played the game for 10-15 minutes and managed to get to wave 4.

It has nice graphics, especially the planets, and the sounds and visual effects look good.

The ship is pretty easy to control, and there is a lot going on.

A few points that could be improved:

  • The start felt a bit too difficult.
    • It took me a bit to figure out I had more than one weapon.
    • I kept dying, but it was hard to determine why I kept dying.
    • Eventually, I figured out that when enemies passed me, it lowered the base's health instead of affecting the player.
  • The user interface feels a bit in the way of seeing the enemies/obstacles, like the text "Defend the base" and the health bars.

I like the upgrade menu; it gave a moment where you can take a short rest before continuing.

Overall, it's a pretty fun way to go for a first game.

I really appreciate that you not only took the time to play my game but also leave such an in-depth comment with great feedback! All the points you made were excellent and I think if fixed would improve the game. Thank you again it seriously means a lot.
